These travel diaries capture the essence and exuberance of the young legend, Che Guevara. In January 1952, Che set out from Buenos Aires to explore South America on an ancient Norton motorcycle. He encounters an extraordinary range of people, from native Indians to copper miners, lepers and tourists, experiencing hardships and adventures that informed much of his later life. This expanded, new edition from Ocean Press, published with exclusive access to the Che Guevara Archives held in Havana, includes a preface by Che's daughter, Aleida Guevara. It also features previously unpublished photos (taken by Che on his travels), as well as new, unpublished parts of the diaries, poems and letters. In January 2004, the film by the same name, The Motorcycle Diaries, will have its world premiere at the Sundance International Film Festival, in Park City, Utah. Directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), produced by Robert Redford and with a screenplay by Jos Rivera, the film stars the up-and-coming Mexican actor Gael Garc a Bernal (Amores Perros, Y Tu Mam Tambi n, The Crimes of Father Amaro).

"In 1952 Alberto Granado, a young doctor, and his friend Ernesto Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student from a distinguished Buenos Aires family, decided to explore their continent. They set off from Cordoba in Agentina on a Norton 500cc motorbike traveled through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The duo's adventures vary from the suspenseful (stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins) to the comedic (falling in love, drinking, fighting ...) to the serious (volunteering as firemen and at a leper colony). They worked as day laborers along the way - as soccer coaches, medical assistants, and furniture movers. The poverty and exploitation of the native population started the process that was to turn Ernesto - the debonair, fun-loving student - into Che, the revolutionary who had a profound impact on the history of several nations."--Jacket.

En 1952, deux jeunes Argentins, Alberto Granado et Ernesto Guevara, décident de partir à la découverte de l'Amérique du Sud. Enfourchant une vieille moto Norton 500 de 1939, baptisée la Poderosa (la Vigoureuse), ils mettent le cap vers le nord avec l'intention de rejoindre le Venezuela quelques mois plus tard. Les deux amis font face rapidement à bien des difficultés: intempéries, accidents de la route, manque d'argent, pannes de moto, etc. Mais ils font aussi de belles rencontres et découvertes. Au fil de leur voyage, ils vont croiser des paysans chassés de leur terre, des mineurs exploités, des Indiens vivant comme des réfugiés dans leur propre pays. Autant de rencontres qui vont les sensibiliser aux injustices de ce monde. Leur périple se termine par un long séjour dans une léproserie en Amazonie.
